Borussia Dortmund Vs City (CL) Pre Match Thread

[Sky Blue]

Garcia and Barry, quite possibly the slowest centre of midfield ever?

Fast compared to Reid and McMahon....

 

[Labatt Blue]

Nasri at wingback??

Or not risking Zabaleta and Kolarov just in case Clichy cannot get fit in time.

Sinclair at wingback ?

 

[No17]

Eager to see if Mancini let's them have a go at BVB with pace and width...with Sinclair on the left and Nasri on the right with Tevez behind Dzeko it could mean exactly that, pacey crosses on to that big head of Edin...hope he proves his worth tonight and shows he can play well from the start...

Dortmund line up is the big surprise for me.

They are missing 5-6 key players or probably just resting them.

We miss Silva/Yaya but apart from that pretty strong line up.

It is pretty much Dortmund B side we easily should be a match for them or beat them.

Nasri needs to take a leading role finally and show his true skills tonight.

If you had a few days to waste we could time them over the 100m and find out.<br /><br />-- Dec 4th, '12, 19:00 --<br /><br />

Nasri and Sinclair are both right footed are they not?

Can't see Lescott at LB though

Re: Tonight v Dortmund

How can I do that when I don't know who's travelled or who's playing at the weekend?

It doesn't take a genius to work out who's travelled.

Like I said to you before, one of Kompany or Nasty will have to play tonight as well as Sunday, so it looks like you're going to be annoyed but from what I can gather from reading your posts, that will suit you as you seem to like having something to be annoyed about.

Something gives me the impression someone's looking to start a fight here.

Anyone out there know who's travelled?

Starting 11 from mcfc.co.uk:

Hart, Maicon, Nasty, Kompany, Lescott, Nasri, Sinclair, Garcia, Barry, Dzeko, Tevez

 

[LoveCity]

Real not going too easy on Ajax although defence looks a bit weak:

Adan; Nacho, Varane, Carvalho, Coentrao; Khedira, Modric; Callejon, Kaka, Cristiano; Benzema

And christ I despise Ruud Gullit, never a good word to say about us and is at it again on Sly Sports.

Lescott used to play left-back quite often if I recall.

 

[King Of All Geordies]

Wouldn't suprise me to Lescott at left back, he had a run there a couple of seasons ago when Kolarov and Zab were missing as I seem to recall....

 

[Damanino]

Reus 23 years old
Schieber 23
Leitner 19
Perisic 23
Gündogan 22
Groskreutz 24

These are the creative/attacking players in their line up they are young and pretty inexperienced at this level.

But yeah the pace of Barry and Garcia is something they would want to exploit with young energy and pace.
